Service engine soon light after oil change?

you probably unplugged a sensor by accidentService engine soon light after oil change?
better check what order you put the plug wires in might be rong
Sounds like you either didn't get the plug wires on the correct plug (firing order) or you might have damaged a plug or wire. The stutter you feel is a miss fire and computer has pick up a code for the miss fire.
Sometimes what can happen at an oil change is that some engine crud has loosened and lodged itself either into your oil pressure sensor or into the oil pressure relief valve, which is located somewhere around your oil pump.. If you have been using a cheaper brand of oil prior to this change, you may need to do an engine de-sludging treatment. Once this is done, you should keep the engine on something like Mobil One indefinitely.
